Answer 2

B) Cherishes her rare worldly experiences.

Step-by-step explanation:

In her memoir Warriors Don't Cry, Melba Patillo Beals narrates how she, along with other blacks had to endure the discrimination and injustice from the whites. She details her life trying to learn how to be a "warrior" against the racial discrimination of her people.

The given excerpt shows how Melba, as a young girl, was eager to be out and about, enjoying the scene. Rarely was she allowed to be outside, for a black girl like herself, the outside world isn't a safe place. The passage reveals her happiness, and how she cherishes the rare worldly outing she was given.
